By micro-events, I mean things that happen everyday that a non-bipolar person might be irritated with, but then shrug off or deal with it, whereas the same event for a bipolar person might send him/her scuttling to the far corners of the universe, now that their world has exploded.
I speak from personal experience: unfortunately, I have an all-or-nothing personality, and much to my own dismay, I can only see issues in black-and-white, and this gets me into heaps of personal trouble in my life, especially in relationships with family and my boyfriend.
I'm not officially diagnosed bipolar, but I'm wondering if the mood swings can be brought on by these external events as well as the biochemical imbalances (which I seem to experience as well- drastic mood changes for no external reason).
Thanks.
